David Loudon<\/strong> smashed half-centuries on successive days to inspire Kingswood College<\/strong> to back-to-back victories over Muir College<\/strong> in T20 and 50-over matches, at City Lords<\/strong>, on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n

On Friday evening, Loudon stroked an unbeaten half-century to lead Kingswood to 186\/1, before the Kingswood bowling attack combined to limit Muir to 110\/8 in reply.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Kingswood changed tack and opted to bowl first after winning the toss.<\/p>\n

In a rain-affected match, Muir was limited to 190\/9 in 40 overs. Loudon, then, struck another half-century as the home side galloped to 174\/2 in only 20.1 overs to complete a comprehensive eight-wicket victory.<\/p>\n

Kingswood vs Muir T20<\/strong><\/p>\n

Loudon and his opening partner, Josh Loon<\/strong>, wielded their bats like swords as they decimated the Muir bowlers in Friday’s T20 clash.<\/p>\n

They were together for all but one ball of the Kingswood innings, partnering for 183 runs in 19.5 overs.<\/p>\n

Loudon hit six fours and two sixes in an unbeaten 72 from 51 balls, while Loon was the top-scorer with a 70-ball 97 that featured 15 fours.<\/p>\n

Kamva Douws<\/strong> scored a fighting run-a-ball 26 for Muir, but, at the other end of the pitch, a procession of wickets went down.<\/p>\n

Romano<\/strong> Richards <\/strong>stood firm, though, top-scoring with an unbeaten 39 from 37 balls, but his innings didn’t overlap that of Douws as the visitors struggled to put together meaningful partnerships.<\/p>\n

Kingswood vs Muir 50-over<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Saturday, Loudon, the Kingswood captain, asked Muir to bat first, and this time, the visiting side produced a better batting effort.<\/p>\n

Cody September<\/strong> scored a steady 41 from 92 balls to help Muir get to 190\/9 in 40 overs and received decent support from Umair Jeeva<\/strong> (36) and Soso Makana<\/strong> (33), while Romano Richards chipped in with a handy 29 from 25 deliveries.<\/p>\n

Muir’s progress was, however, greatly hampered by Sinawo Bakula<\/strong> and Josh Loon\u2019s bowling efforts. They shared seven wickets between them, with Bakula capturing 4\/38 from eight overs. Loon’s contribution was 3\/25 from seven.<\/p>\n

In reply, Kingswood lost Josh Loon early, for eight runs, but their top order quickly showed that the pitch wasn\u2019t a minefield as they raced to 174\/2 after only 20.1 overs.<\/p>\n

Loudon, who replaced him, bashed nine fours and a six on his way to a 55 from only 35 balls. Daniel Jankins,<\/strong> who opened the batting with Loon, had the best seat in the house to watch Loudon\u2019s fireworks while anchoring the innings with an unbeaten 60 from 70 deliveries.<\/p>\n
